MICHEL RUSSELL - BLOODBATH ISBN 978-1-906986-79-7 Bradley (Braydie) Neilson, a thirty-five-year-old gay man, works for a charity in the beautiful Georgian city of Bath, on the river Avon. He belongs to a group of seven known as the ‘CC circle’ headed by seventy-five-year-old Clarence Collier, a Bathonian, who is a rather eccentric but loveable old man who entertains in a rather lavish house full of antiques. CC’s main vice is that he tends to cruise the parks at night and picks up many waifs and strays, who invariably end up back at his house for the night. Unfortunately on the fifth of November he is found dead - murdered - in the garden of his home, dressed as Guy Fawkes. Five more deaths follow all in bizarre and gruesome details and “Braydie” and his new boyfriend, Joe, a British actor and USA TV advert star, try with the help of Inspector Jameson to find the killer before he finds him. Set in the present day, the novel, although down to earth with explicit detail, is a tale that is funny at times and serious with the present unsettling climate of today. It’s a “scream a minute” in more ways than one! This is not a conventional murder mystery or a whodunnit, but a series of events that arise from the vendetta of a family member in one country against a group of innocent people in another. The author has crafted a tale of love, murder and intrigue in a city that is steeped in history, beauty and dark shadows!

ISBN 978-1-906658-03-8 ‘Some of the boys … act like we’re changing the world or something. Like the whole thing is something really deep and spiritual. ‘Me, I see it as what it is, a chance to get completely off me face as much as possible.’ The Second Summer of Love comes to a quiet Home Counties town. Alex hates school and hates his father, but mates, music, drugs and underage drinking ease the strain. Joe loves his marginal dole-and-dealing lifestyle, but with a demanding girlfriend on his case, decides he must move on to higher, or more lucrative, things. Danny enjoys the squalor and camaraderie of north London student life, but the girl he is with is not the one he wants. Alex’s father, policeman Graeme, hates his job. An intelligent and scornful son is all he needs. His wife Angela, caught between them, mourns her lost passion and abandoned talent. Vivid, wry and honest, their voices intertwine in the story of a year of risk, opportunity, triumph and disaster. Some will change their lives, if not the world.

ISBN - 978-1-906658-01-4 A sinister conspiracy is about to change the world forever. One of the world's most powerful nations has secretly joined an unholy alliance with India to tip the balance of world power and create an axis that will never again be dictated to by the US government. The world watches helplessly as nuclear weapons replace diplomacy in the increasingly volatile exchanges between the Indian and Pakistan governments. With a fanatic's finger on the nuclear button, world oil supplies are cut off and chaos reigns throughout the Gulf States and beyond. The US and UK governments stand together to face the world threat head on using détente and political pressure to hold crisis at bay while dispatching two of their best agents with more incisive methods in mind. One half of the team is battle-hardened but weary Special Forces veteran Luke Weaver. The other, to his discomfort, is the dynamic and beautiful Kirin - an American field officer of Indian descent who's familiar with the language and the terrain. As the oil supplies dwindle, the world learns that this is only the beginning of the master plan. Fronted by the maniacal Prime Minister of India, the axis plans to change the world forever: this is The Paradigm Shift. As the President battles against time and treachery in the highest corridors of White House power, the options are running out as fast as the oil supplies.

ISBN 978-1-906658-06-9 Guus Heemstra is a Dutchman doing his military duties in Germany. His father has pulled strings to get him a soft job driving trucks when most Dutchmen of Guus age are labouring in factories. But now it is October 1944, and the Allies are pushing the Germans back to their frontiers, and again his father has pulled strings to bring him home. Guus father is a Dutch collaborator, a Director of the mighty Royal Dutch Shell company who has led a life of privilege which allowed him to take his family with him to the Dutch East Indies in the pre-war years. In associating himself with the NSB the Dutch Nazi Party he has benefited from the years of German successes and their occupation of the Netherlands. Guus returns to the Netherlands and finds a place far different from the one he left. The vestiges of the once grand lifestyle remain, the house in Wassenaar, the elite suburb of The Hague, the car, the access to high-level Germans. But there is unease for they all know that the war is lost for the Germans although the parents cling to a hope that the Germans might still fight the Allies to a standstill and that a favourable peace might prevail. The V2 rocket launches from their suburb and the commencement of the Ardennes offensive fan those hopes and the parents set aside their plans to flee to Germany. But Guus has his doubts and together with his girlfriend Frieda, whose father is a former Dutch army officer, they find themselves increasingly confronted with the consequences of collaboration, the virtual collapse of the Netherlands, and the coming retribution. And this is happening during the depths of one of the coldest winters on record when Dutchmen are starving because it is now increasingly difficult to get food to the cities. It is the Hunger Winter of 1944-45 when people, including the Heemstras, forced to eat tulip bulbs to survive. Few understanding why the Allies do not push more urgently into the Netherlands to relieve the situation. When at last the Germans retreat and eventually an armistice is brokered, the Dutch turn on people like the Heemstras and extract vengeance.

ISBN - 978-1906658-00-7 Businessman and amateur historian Guy Tresanton is the History Detective - and in this, the first of his adventures, his only weapon against seemingly insurmountable odds is his uncanny ability to know what's going to happen next. Treachery, violence and sexual power games all add to a heady mix of action and intrigue as events take our heroes careering across continents towards the riveting climax. In a desperate battle against a sinister alliance of mystic powers and the corporate world, Tresanton, his young firecracker of a Chinese sidekick Rose and the redoubtable Inspector Monty are all that stands between the civilised world and Armaggeddon. Why is the gorgeous Leila so fearful of him? What significance has a century old football competition? Why is the monastery on a remote island so significant and who are the mysterious elders? 'This is an excellent thriller culled from the intrigue and plotting of the Court of medieval Spain and the intrepid courage of the explorers of that age woven into an exciting and original modern day adventure in the search for Caribbean treasure.'

ISBN - 978-0-955606465 Wotcha - a contraction of the 15th century English greeting what chere be with you? Watcher n - a person who watches or observes somebody or something. A voyeur. Say WOTCHA! to Bart Raines, who s condemned forever to be a watcher after a childhood prank left his eyelid glued to his beloved telescope. Stuck with one eye that can t not see, he s turned voyeurism into a lucrative blackmail industry. Say WOTCHA! to former rock star, avid coke fiend, Richard Winston Smith who s watched by millions - among them erstwhile school friend Bart, who s orchestrating revenge for Winston s teenage betrayal through the sinister global surveillance network he calls the Daisy Chain. Say WOTCHA! to high class whore Daisy Chains (neé Raines) and her teenage son Joe, who is abducted along with his girlfriend by a sinister Christian cult, which leaves the kids to die, hogtied and helpless in a derelict drainage tunnel slowly filling with sewage. Watched by the world's media, Winston, Daisy and Bart reunite to use fame and the Daisy Chain to save two teenage lives - and their own souls - from the filth that‘s about to drown them. Wotcha! is a comic spit in the eye of born again zealots with a wink and a twinkle to the rest of us - but it s also deadly serious. Mining a rich seam of coal-black humour and sex, drugs and rock and roll, it starts on a bitter-sweet nostalgia trip and builds up to the pace of a thriller. CONTROVERSIAL STUFF? Its themes and explicit language make this a candidate for one of those parental advisory stickers they put on CDs these days. Does that make WOTCHA! a book that people aged under sixteen shouldn t read? In the author s opinion - absolutely not. If rude words and references to sex, drugs and rock and roll upset you per se, this book s not for you. But if you believe, as I do, that a sense of humour is what separates naughty from evil , I think you might enjoy this story, laugh at the funny bits, think about the serious bits and read the redemption between the lines.

On the rebound he meets a slightly younger guy which results in a relationship that a certain evil, racist guy does not approve and tells him in more ways than one to ‘get out of town’ or else, after a new found friend, an Indian lady and her cat dies mysteriously! Scott goes to his flat in London, primarily to see his ailing mother in a nursing home, and it is there that he acquires a modelling contract from his boss in the USA only to find soon afterwards a shattering tabloid accusation that he wrote a novel that was banned and was also a porn star. His contract is revoked, his friends desert him and his mother dies and nothing could get any worse than when his former American lover turn up in England with his ‘married’ older guy.
